In Santa Monica they have the breeze docked bike share... which originally when it launched allowed you to leave the bikes anywhere for no charge (so best of both worlds).
I was an avid user and rode an average of four times a day!
A few months later, they started charging $2 if you didn’t lock a bike to the dock. This made for a pretty good a/b test of usage... I started using them only maybe once or twice a month!
I’d say dockless is about 50x better than docked.
And since bird showed up here (dockless e-scooters) I basically never use the breeze bike share anymore, despite having prepaid for a year of it.
I think the electricity probably makes it again 2x better and the scooter makes it again 2x better.
So overall, dockless e-scooters are maybe 200x better than docked bike shares!
